Defterdar Camii

Place of worshipLocal favourite

A 1542 Mimar Sinan mosque in Eyüp for the chief finance secretary Nazlı Mahmut Efendi. Instead of a crescent, its dome is topped by an inkpot and pen for the founder's profession; the current pair was installed in 2007 after a 1997 storm broke the original.
